Personal Injury Lawyers in Vermont & New Hampshire

Securing Damages for Emotional Pain & Suffering

One of the most difficult aspects of
a personal injury claim is emotional pain and suffering. Proving a physical injury is relatively
straightforward for a skilled and experienced personal injury attorney
in New Hampshire. There are medical reports. There are witnesses who can
testify that you’ve openly dealt with an injury from your car accident,
for example. And you might still bear the scars of the injury.

Emotional pain and suffering, however, do not manifest themselves in such
obvious ways. It’s difficult for people to see what you’re
going through. There are no obvious scars. Even trained physicians are
not always in a place to observe the symptoms.
Our personal injury attorneys at Van Dorn, Curtiss, Rousseau & Ross, PLLC know that your emotional pain
and suffering are no less real for being difficult to see, and we’ll
work tirelessly to ensure you get the justice and compensation you deserve
for every element of your claim.

Symptoms of Emotional Pain & Suffering

Every individual is unique, and the psychological trauma of a personal
injury case manifests differently in everyone. But some symptoms of emotional
pain and suffering are relatively common, and a personal injury attorney
should be able to help you recognize them. These symptoms include:

Trouble sleeping

Withdrawal from the world

Anxiety

Mental anguish

Anger or frustration

Proving Emotional Pain and Suffering

Obviously, proving these symptoms is difficult, and many people are skeptical
of emotional pain and suffering claims. But there are some steps you can
take to help your injury attorney prove your trauma.

First, don’t try and “tough out” the psychological pain.
There’s no shame in experiencing pain and suffering after something
as significant as a personal injury. Speak to a trained medical professional
such as a psychologist or a therapist about what you’re experiencing.
Get records of your visits. It will help to prove that your problems are
long-running and well-documented.

Second, be sure and mention your pain and suffering to our Concord injury

you deserve. Our lawyers are knowledgeable on how to calculate your deserved
compensation.
